In deep converse with Bathhouse John we beheld the very same youth who, some time since, had drifted to a place beside me at la soupe Pete The Ghost, white and determined, blond and fragile: Pete the Shadow....

The service had the same regulations while we were on campaigns. During the second campaign of Vienna, I recollect that the house deputy of Soupe Pierrugues was M. Eugene Pierrugues, frank, gay, witty, and much beloved by us all. An imprudence cost him dear, for in consequence of a heedlessness natural at his age he had his arm broken.
